    #1 Why did you start this as a new thread,
    instead of posting to the thread, you started yesterday?

    #2 how can you expect people that have read this post,
    to want to take their time and effort to try to help you ?

    I posted yesterday about a problem that had me tearing my hair out. Well! If all else fails, do something not allowed; I set the pulse widths in Mach3 to 10 microseconds despite the fact that the allowed range is 0 to 5 microseconds. Instantly, it started working correctly!
    I suspect anyone who had anyexperience would have recognized that the motors were too loud and figured the problem out in 30 minutes rather than the 30 HOURs I spent.
    potential problem is not mentioned anywhere in the ZTW or Mach3 documentation.

    Maybe in the next 30 hours you could figure out a way to get contents of this
    post to disappear.

    The fewer people that read it, the more likely you will find people wanting to try to help you, in the future.

    Mike,

    I guess you have a point; please chalk it up to ignorance. It was my first post to this board.

    OTOH, there are two similar posts on this board where there is no conclusion at all. Judging by their age, I suspect both solved the problem and didn't bother to post the solution! I think that is a considerably greater sin!
